Our faith is typically developed communally, by following the example of others. We have much to learn by carrying each other on our journey while staying oriented towards Jesus. Even if our intractable problems are healed, will we be obedient to Christ and give God the glory rather than feed our ego? When we hit “the wall” of doubt, can we have faith even with uncertain earthly outcomes, and persevere in the “long game” for God’s ultimate commendation and reward?

Evan Kreider (Professor Emeritus of Music, UBC) spoke on Psalm 17, a Davidic plea to Yahweh to pay attention and act in justice (1-2; 6-9; 13-15) based on a declaration of faithfulness (3-5) and a lament over the enemies that lurk in ambush like a lion (10-12). The unnamed petitioner poetically wrestles with God, like Jacob’s all-night match in Genesis (32:22-31). While we may try to live in peace, chronic pains or debilitating illnesses may be our enemies rather than people. Evan challenged us to try praying for others using the pattern of this psalm before using it for ourselves. [KH]

Transcending violence requires imaginative storytelling by communities with four characteristics: organic interdependence (web of relationships), dynamic curiosity (understand the causes of conflict), artistic creativity, and risk-taking (by including your enemies). She gave examples of artists working in defiance of war: the Leningrad première of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7, the Sarajevo Film Festival, and the Sevdah Cafe movement in Mostar, Bosnia. Her Ph.D. dissertation is available from the University of Amsterdam: Arts-based peacebuilding: Functions of Theatre in Uganda, Kenya, and Zimbabwe (2016).

She described the very personal struggles that lead some people to hide their problems and sometimes even tragically die in shame. Like Paul, we struggle in the duality of our wretched nature as slaves to sin even though we live under a new law – the Spirit’s unending grace, our new life thanks to Jesus. We sang “Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free” (#539).

The preceding chapters in Genesis (19-13) are set at Mt Sinai, where the Jews were asked to be a kingdom of priests, in communion with God. Chapters 21-23 present the decalogue which told how to worship God and live an ethical life. Chapter 24 then set forth the covenant, God’s gift of himself and our response of obedience–all sealed with lots of blood. An altar was built, 12 pillars were symbolically raised nearby, young men offered burnt offerings (removal of sin) and peace offerings of gratitude. Blood symbolized God’s acceptance of the offerings. This one time, half of the blood was poured on the altar and half sprinkled on the people (‘atoning sacrificial blood) while they again promised to obey. The people then ate together. When Jesus says in the context of his final meal (Matthew 26), “Take, eat, this is my body . . . this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” everyone would have recalled the story in Exodus 24, as will we.

Clotilde, the second wife of the Frankish king Clovis I, helped to convert her husband to Catholicism (rather than the theology of Arianism adopted by most other Germanic tribes). Monastic traditions in the early Medieval Period gave us a legacy of beautiful liturgies, such as the epic poetry of the Saxon Saviour.
